i finished coloring and started rendering! good progress for getting Halloween out, not only on time, but not rushing it to make sure each piece is quality as fuck. HOWEVER, i started RENDERING BEFORE i finished the sketch layer and THAT'S A BIG NO NO. not like ticket territory, but a very very firm slap on the wrist nonetheless, cuz if that sketch layer won't get refined then basically the rest of this pic will be fucked
anyways, since some of it is rendered you can see how the lighting is going to be: heavy front-lighting from the house (yellow/orange) and a nice spooky backdrop for shadows (darker purple/blue). it will still be lit from moonlight and be generously bright, so you can see all the cool ooey gooey BG details
next WIP will obvs finish up the sketch, and THEN render some more :>
